Thomas Petazzoni aac1fed7b9 board/arm/foundation-v8: update defconfig and instructions
This commit updates the defconfig of the foundation-v8 platform, which
can be tested under the AArch64 emulator provided by ARM. The main
change is that we switch to the mainline 3.13.6 kernel instead of a
Linaro-specific Git tree.

Another change is to update the download link for the emulator in the
instructions, in order to use the latest version of the emulator,
which was used for testing.

This is the support for the ARM Foundation v8 machine emulated by the
ARM software simulator of the AArch64 architecture.

First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from:

  https://silver.arm.com/download/download.tm?pv=1509509

Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your
Buildroot system.

Finally, boot your system with:

 ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/Foundation_v8 \
    --image output/images/linux-system.axf \
    --block-device output/images/rootfs.ext2 \
    --network=nat

You can get network access from within the simulated environment
by requesting an IP address using DHCP (run the command 'udhcpc').
